Editing 16:10 video in to 16:9

[supaflyx3]

So i've been playing around in premiere pro & sony vegas with some game footage. My monitors resolution is 1680x1050, I'm try to edit the video in to 720P but after rendering the video theres black bars on both sides of the video. Is there a way to edit the video so those bars are gone, without stretching or distorting the image, or am i forced to get a 1080P monitor or turn my resolution in game down to 720P.

you know that even with the bars there you can just fix it when watching a movie yes you have to adjust it every time but it works vlc or media player home classic. but i do know if using Vdub/Vdubmod you can cut the bars right out don't know about vegas
